Our Sarajevo Full Day Tour is a complete Sarajevo day tour for travellers who want to see the city’s nature, history and culture in one relaxed day, with a traditional Bosnian lunch included. It starts with hotel pickup at 9:00 and lasts about six and a half hours.

Then you visit the Tunnel of Hope museum, walk the abandoned Olympic bobsleigh track on Trebević, stop at the Jewish Cemetery that served as a sniper position during the siege and enjoy the panorama from the Yellow Fortress. The day ends with a guided walk through the Old Town of Baščaršija, where mosques, churches and synagogues stand within a few minutes of each other.

We start at Vrelo Bosne, the springs of the Bosna River at the foot of Mount Igman. Clear water comes straight out of the ground here and runs through a park laid out in Austro-Hungarian times, with wooden bridges, swans and shady paths. It is where people from Sarajevo come to get out of the city for an hour or two.
The Tunnel of Hope was dug in 1993, during the siege, under the airport runway. It was the city's only link with the outside world: food, medicine, weapons and people all went through it. At the museum in Butmir you walk about 100 metres through the original tunnel and see the house where it began, with photos and objects from the war.
The bobsleigh track on Mount Trebević was built for the 1984 Winter Olympics. During the war it was used as an artillery position, and today it is abandoned and covered in graffiti. From here you also get a wide view over Sarajevo and the mountains around it.
The Jewish Cemetery dates back to the 16th century and is one of the largest in Europe. During the war it lay on the front line and was used as a sniper position above the city. Today it is a quiet place with a view over Sarajevo, and a good spot to talk about what the city went through.
The Yellow Fortress is an Ottoman bastion above the Old Town, once part of the city's defences. It is one of the best viewpoints in Sarajevo, and locals come here at sunset. From up here you can see how the city sits in a narrow valley between the mountains.
We finish in Baščaršija, the Old Town, where East meets West. In a few minutes' walk you pass mosques, churches and a synagogue, Ottoman bazaars and Austro-Hungarian buildings. Along the way we stop for Bosnian coffee and lunch with ćevapi.

We've visited oldest park, tunnel of hope, Olympic bobsled track, Jewish cemetery, view points, old town, markets, had some wonderful lunch. We wouldn't be able to cover so much history and places on our own. One of the best tours we've ever been on. Thank you Elvis!

June 23, 2024An essential tour of Sarajevo to learn not only about the city in one day, but also about the whole country, with the best view Tripadvisor review: Sarajevo Full Day Tour: Pick-Up, Entrance Fee's & Lunch Included I started my trip to Sarajevo with this tour and I am very happy with my choice. The tour started with visiting the Tunnel of Hope, a must see masterpiece of engineering which gives you the depth of the tragedy of the Balkan War. My tour guide, Adnan, was super friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his job and showing me everything, answering all my questions and making sure that I had an amazing unforgettable experience. I have to say the tour was not just covering the war time. It also included a walking tour of the old city, the best view of the city from over the mountain and of course, a nice food. Overall, an amazing and instructive experience which Adnan particularly made it even more special. So, I highly recommend this tour and "hvala", Adnan.

The walking tour of Old Town was interesting to see the mixture of ethnicity and culture. Then he took us to the Tunnel of Hope for an emotional experience there learning of the siege of Sarajevo. Edis was so knowledgeable and able to impart his family's personal experiences during the war! Then up to the mountain top for green forests and amazing city views and remaining facilities from the 1984 Olympics! A very full but enjoyable and educational day!
